Once again...nothing is known. Some folks at WB when we got
renewed said there'd be five, some said four; come of the cast heard
four, and repeated four...the interviews you're seeing now were
actually done a long time ago, given lead times.

If you're confused, it's because there IS no answer at this
time. As I said last year at this time, and the year before at this
time, and the year before that...nothing is ever known at this point
until around February or a bit later. They've initiated some
discussions about the fifth year, as the ratings have continued to
improve, but nothing is set either way.

If I knew, for certain, I would tell you. But I can't tell you
until WB makes its final decision. That hasn't happened yet.
